Combs Reservoir Car Park Manchester Rd, Tunstead Milton, High Peak SK23 9UN
Free parking for Combs Reservoir fishing and walks
Combs Reservoir Car Park is a free, Derbyshire County Councilmanaged gravel and tarmac facility on Manchester Road, serving anglers, walkers, and cyclists exploring Combs Reservoir and Bole Hill. The unmarked lot accommodates approximately 70 vehicles on a first-come basis; it operates from dawn until dusk; no overnight parking. There is no lighting or CCTV; park during daylight hours recommended. A Derbyshire County Council noticeboard displays fishing permit information, trail maps for the 4 km reservoir circuit, and wildlife-spotting guides (e.g., tufted ducks, bats). Benches and picnic tables overlook the reservoir. Pedestrian trails lead directly to the fishing platforms (50 m) and to a bridleway heading toward Bole Hill (3 km). Seasonal fishing derbies reduce capacity by 15%; overflow parking is directed to the Chapel-en-le-Frith lay-by (2 km). Maintenance crews clear litter monthly and trim footpath edges quarterly.
